A timerift struck Stella Aeterna during the reception appointing Deylin and Ilyra as chronarcs. Thalena tried to destroy the spell with a black hole; its detonation shattered the lounge and damaged the palace, while the rift carried several guests away. The lounge remained usable as repairs began.

History
In the years after her 4332 AX return to Thalassai, Helena was confronted in the Palace of Time by Archon Kairessa, officials and records manager Pyrrhus over her destruction of Malverand's history. She killed them and the guards in the hall, then destroyed the guarded copy of The Fires of Pyrenis in the palace vault to suppress its record of that history.
Thalena announced her ambition to become archon in 4836 AX. Several years later, she was elected archon of time and took the title archon of space and time. She rebuilt the older Palace of Time as Stella Aeterna, modeling its white architecture on Jazarel and expanding the gate chamber beneath it into the Nexus Research Center.
Cassian took Thalena's government office after her disappearance and his election as archon of time.
A timerift struck Stella Aeterna during the reception appointing Deylin and Ilyra as chronarcs. Thalena tried to destroy the spell with a black hole; its detonation shattered the lounge and damaged the palace, while the rift carried several guests away. The lounge remained usable as repairs began.
The attack was arranged by Thalena from within the void. Silas opened its boundary, Thalena widened the breach, and Deylin and Sigurd cast the timerifts into the feast. Horol’Khai took the captives to Varnhallow, where they were needed to form the Order of Thalion Zenith.
